Rise of the New Ottoman Empire

By Douglas V. Gibbs

Hamas is closely tied to the Muslim Brotherhood, and has joined the opposition against Mubarak. As the violence escalates in Egypt, Yemen is escalating too. Jordan has fired the government under the pressure of the protesters.

Europe and Obama is calling for Mubarak to step down, despite Mubarak explaining that if you know the culture of Egypt you would know that a quick departure by Mubarak would result in absolute chaos.

Wow, a few Egyptians calling for Mubarak stepping down has the president of Egypt doing it, and Obama calling for him to do it immediately - yet many more Tea Party members have called for Obama to step down and he won't do it.

Hmmmmm.

And you know these Islamists in Egypt have their sites on the Suez Canal. If the Suez Canal was closed by Islamists, we would have to go around Africa, around the Cape of Good Hope, right past the Somali pirates. And the Left wishes to just pay these people off to let us pass.

You can't just pay these people off. You can't appease them. We can't use diplomacy without military options on the table no different than over two hundred years ago when Thomas Jefferson took on the Barbary Pirates. Jefferson, to stop the Muslim threat, sent the Marines to the shores of Tripoli to fight the Muslim Barbary Pirates.

Meanwhile, the Egyptian military is rounding up foreign journalists reportedly for their protection. The campaign of intimidation has started. A Fox News crew was beaten and hospitalized, Anderson Cooper of CNN was attacked, Christiane Amanpour was told by Egyptian rioters, "We hate Americans."

Wait, I though Obama's appeasement policy was supposed to save us all! I thought diplomacy would make the Muslims love us.

There is no reasoning with Islam. . . or the Left.

What we are seeing in the Middle East and North Africa is the beginnings of the rumblings that will unite the Muslim Countries into a new caliphate - causing the rise of the new Ottoman Empire. These people are pushing for a caliphate, and then expansion into Europe, and ultimately world domination.

That is what Islam does. They are not the religion of peace. They are a social, economic, and political ideology that will not stop until they have destroyed their opposition and rule over the entire world.

Wow, they almost sound like liberal progressive Democrats.
